Bahía Honda is a municipality and city in the Pinar del Río Province of Cuba. It is located on the northern shore of the island, in an inlet of the Florida Straits, 70 km (43 mi) west of Havana. The sheltered bay that gives the name of the municipality contains an industrial port. It marks the eastern extend of the Colorados Archipelago.
Bahía Honda was one of the naval bases leased to the US under the Platt Amendment, but abandoned some years later in turn for an expansion of the area leased around Guantánamo Bay.
